In the Spotlight! Idge Imbrulia

This is one of the many installments of the "In the Spotlight!" series I will add. I will do one UPC or Stock Character a day and evaluate each of its perks and flaws and rate it myself on an overall scale of 1-10. I will not list the individual skills of these UPCs or Stocks, as you can easily find them by going to http://www.bookofwind.blogspot.com/. I will list, though, the stats and stances of each UPC or Stock I evaluate.


Today's UPC is Idge Imbrulia.

Stances

Bareknuckle - Virtually Useless

Plow Guard - Just one of Idge's pre-vet greatsword stances. It is the only one with block and thus gives her some defensive capabilities.

Roof Guard - One of Idge's pre-vet greatsword stances. It has the highest attack speed and has a powerful finisher skill.

Tail Guard - Idge's most useful pre-vet greatsword stance. It has a skill that makes those hit's defense zero. It also has a very powerful finisher skill and a spammable knockdown skill thats pretty powerful too.

Sidewinder - Idge's veteran greatsword stance. It is almost a carbon copy of Tail Guard but with a line-aoe and a bit more attack speed. I think Tail Guard is more useful overall.

Hanging Guard - One of the expert stances. It uses a greatsword to deliver incredible damage whilest ignoring all block, so therefore fighters using Defender will run from you for a change! Sadly I can't go into more detail because this stance hasn't came out in SotNW as of yet.

Blandir Cruz - Idge's pre-vet polearm stance. It has a fast AoE auto attack. Nice spammable skill.

Penetrar Cruz - Another one of Idge's pre-vet polearm stances. Only skill of Idge's that hits flying monsters. Overall weaker than Blandir because it only targets one in auto attack. But it also has higher critical rates.

Mighty Cruz - Idge's best stance. Very powerful skills. Fast AoE auto attack.

Stance Pros/Cons

Pros
1. Obviously one of the heavy weapons specialist's dream builds.
2. Mighty Cruz is the best heavy weapon stance thus far in SotNW.
3. Has access to Hanging Guard, whos skills ignore defense on sheilds and entirely ignores block.

Cons
1. Restricted to Heavy Weapons, therefore you will recieve a penalty when fightning light armored foes.


Performance
Idge is obviously the fastest heavy weapons user in the game with seven agility and has the same strength as a fighter. Idge's uses are far and wide, you could use her to land stun on entire familys in PvP with auto attacking with Mighty Cruz; alternativly, you could use her as a full on fighter, which is what most people do, because with eight strength at expert and a nice polearm, she can definiatly wipe entire familys with a single skill.


Overall Pros/Cons

Pros
1. Specialized heavy weapons expert.
2. Fastest heavy weapons user.
3. Can wear Metal armor.

Cons
1. Low Con for a Fighter.
